Students in Mr. Rosengren’s 6th grade science class have been reaching for the stars—literally! 🚀 Using their knowledge of celestial bodies, they created stunning SPACE ART paired with original acrostic poems.
This project beautifully integrates science, language arts, and visual art, helping students better understand and retain what they’ve learned. Along the way, they also strengthened their research skills—a true cross-curricular adventure!
These Falcons are proving that learning can be both creative and scientific, and we are so proud of the passion and curiosity they bring to the classroom every day.
From the throwback outfits to the best Falcon calls 🦅, intense relays, and nonstop school spirit—Homecoming 2025 reminded us that Falcon pride is alive and well.
Thank you to everyone who helped make it all happen—especially our amazing ACGC Student Council members for your leadership and energy all week long.
Let’s finish strong—see you tonight at the football game vs. Paynesville at 7:00 PM! 🏈
Be Fierce, Falcons!

Even with strong maintenance efforts, some facility improvements extend beyond our annual budget. If approved, the November bond referendum would fund essential improvements, including:
🏫 5–12 building: Replace an aging boiler, resurface parking lots, and upgrade water filtration
🏫 PreK–4 building: Repair moisture-prone bricks, improve emergency exits, enhance exterior lighting, upgrade filtration
These investments will help ensure safe, accessible, and sustainable schools for years to come. In addition, the proposed bond would build a new two-station multipurpose addition, improve our CTE space, and relocate and renovate our wrestling space at our 5-12 building.
Learn more ➡️ https://www.acgcbuilttofly.com/plan
On or before Tuesday, November 4, residents will decide whether to invest $15.95 million to fund a new multipurpose space, create a dedicated health and fitness space, enhance Career and Technical Education (CTE) programming, relocate and renovate the wrestling space, and tackle critical deferred maintenance needs.

With the Sun on the goal line, here’s how our cosmic walk measured out:
🌑 Mercury → 1.3 yards
🌒 Venus → 2.4 yards
🌍 Earth → 3.3 yards (Moon only 0.3 inches away!)
🔴 Mars → 5.1 yards
☄️ Asteroid Belt → 8.3 yards
🌟 Jupiter → 17.3 yards
💍 Saturn → 31.9 yards
❄️ Uranus → 64 yards
🌀 Neptune → 100 yards (far goal line!)
🪐 Pluto → 131.7 yards (over 30 yards past the field!)
Students noticed how tightly packed the rocky planets are near the Sun and how spread out the gas giants are across the outer solar system. They also saw the huge “empty” gaps in space, helping them understand why astronomers measure distance in Astronomical Units (AU) and why space travel is so challenging.
The biggest takeaway? Earth is just a tiny blue marble in a giant, mostly empty cosmic neighborhood. 🌌
Hands-on, minds-on learning at its best — our Falcons are now officially Space Scale Experts!
They put in a lot of work and showed incredible art skills!
Using the Six Reporter’s Questions, students examined each photo carefully:
🔹 WHO? Who are the main people in the photograph? Who might have taken it?
🔹 WHAT? What is happening in the photo? What event or moment is being captured?
🔹 WHEN? When did this event happen? Can we guess the date or time period?
🔹 WHERE? Where was the photo taken? What clues help us identify the location?
🔹 WHY? Why was this photograph taken? What story does it tell?
🔹 HOW? How was the photo taken? What kind of camera or technology might have been used?
By answering these questions, students discovered that even a simple family photograph can unlock stories about people, places, and events. More importantly, they learned that every photograph—like every artifact from the past—has a voice that helps us understand history better.
So proud of their curiosity, sharp thinking, and thoughtful discussions today!
